A former St. Louis Cardinals' great cleans out his closet while the family of a 19th century big leaguer has his baseball heirlooms in the mix during a live auction later this month.

The sale will include 69 high end lots with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the Baseball Assistance Team (B.A.T) which is Gibson’s charity of choice. B.A.T. was formed in 1986, primarily by a group of former Major League Baseball players, to help members of the baseball "family" who have come on hard times and are in need of assistance. In the spirit of this charitable endeavor, Legendary Auctions is requesting a $100 ticket donation for each individual attending the event. One hundred percent of this donation will be given to B.A.T.
